Modest Improvement: The Thread

[ApocalypseAp]

I didn't really want to clog up the sm scores thread too much so people can look here if they want to.

0.9x rate


Did this one as a warmup the other day. I thought it was slower than 200bpm when I was playing it so I was surprised to get so close to an AA. It's a big improvement over my last run of it.


Working the stamina and the jumpstream. MA is terrible but meh


This one felt like it came out of nowhere 'cause I decided to try it once. Beats my previous attempt by a lot. I felt like I could actually keep up way better.


I think this is 240bpm jumpstream? This 1.0 rate beats my last 0.9x try.

[Staiain]

Ayyy keep them coming

[ApocalypseAp]

thx staiain

Been wanting the AA on this for a while


I'm really close to AAing this, the 32nds in the middle are tricky


1.1x rate, not bad, didn't expect to AA but I'll take it


0.9x rate, I'm not good enough for 1.0 yet. Still improving on it though.


Actually expected to A but I'll take a marginal improvement in speed/control lol.


First time playing on 1.0, usually I'm 0.9ing this but it's not so bad for me now


Improving stamina here


Better than yesterday


0.9x rate, I like files like these


aaand my best score here today so far I'd say, finally AA'd

[ApocalypseAp]

A few more from my session today, might do some later as well

Marginal improvement over my previous #1


This is like 90.56% DP now. I'll probably AA soon if I keep playing.


Tried playing this yesterday and bombed the AA but got it today.

[ApocalypseAp]

More improvement, although I'm not getting many AA's still, I'm getting better

First pass.


Definitely better than my previous best on 1.0


First time playing this


First time passing this. The end is hard but not overwhelming anymore


Damn I think I'm really close to an AA on this one, was a bit disappointed but I was reading it much better


I really want someone to chart the full song of this lol. I like the whole song. I'm not that great at the hands yet though


A bit of an improvement over my previous best. Comboing some stuff I couldn't combo before.


This 1.0 play beats my 0.9 record ha.


First time playing this too I think.


Getting a little better at reading.


First pass of this. I almost pushed myself too far with this one too heh.

[ApocalypseAp]

A few more improvements, couldn't play too much this time

Couldn't AA last time I tried this


Damn this is like 92.82%, I missed in a couple of dumb spots. I can AA this


This is like 90.44%

[Dinglesberry]

U should get a theme that shows the song pack a song is in.. Like maybe I'm bad but I see that score "oooh flashbulb I bet it's hard and bursty" but who knows tbh fam

The scores look dank tho nice son

Thanks. Yeah I should do that. I'm having trouble editing the default theme anyway. Maybe I can make another one work.

[Dinglesberry]

I'd recommend til death at the moment, it's a great theme and super quick to set up.

Just as an example though, I know of two versions of Chipstream... Three technically, cause there's one in nuclear blast (I assume this is the one ur playing, based on the banner) that has two difficulties, but there's also a version in tachyon gamma so it's a Lil confusing tbh fam

[ApocalypseAp]

Yeah it's the nuclear blast version, and I'd use that theme, but I'm on 3.95.. I might try giving sm5 another go though. I tried it before but the theme that staiain used definitely didn't work for my plays.

Anywho, more scores

This is a huuuge improvement over my last run of it, which was a B. This is 89.56%


I'm kind-of keeping up with it but I lose it in the 32nds and start cb rushing a bit lol.


1.1x rate. I think this is alright


92.65%, rip aa

[ApocalypseAp]

I only got like a couple scores I thought were worth posting

Icy X's The Fool 0.9x, 88.6%


I thought this was pretty good, 88.3%

[ApocalypseAp]

Okay so I cleaned up the thread a little bit with the bigger sets of scores at least. Got some pretty good stuff recently.

NB version, 91.3%


90.1%


87.8%, I couldn't even A this before on 1.0


90.71%, much improved from last time, I feel like my reading got a bit of a boost

[Sidek]

you're getting better at the game congrats
btw you should give a try to +danshi from yolomania 3

[EtienneSM]

Yeah, that Paparazzi is really solid. Good stuff, dude.

Also, you should try some accuracy stuff that's slightly below that range to get your MA/PA down. It makes a huge difference in the long run, trust me haha.

Haven't tried it since the 24th but here's my score that day on it

Thanks. Yeah I have a problem with trying to improve my speed more than my accuracy atm but I like going fast. I'm just not used to this keyboard yet I think, or maybe I need to fiddle with my global offset a bit. It seems like if I don't bottom the key out I don't have a good reference for when I bring my finger back up, or if I don't have it at the right height. Maybe even my cmod could be sped up a little bit. I tried 775 for a while but that was a little too much for me. Maybe C760 or C765 would be good to try.

But yeah, I got some more scores here

1.1x rate, I thought this was decent for one try


89%, a little improvement


second time playing, 84.6%


Yolo4 version, 89.17%


1.1x rate, 96.49%. I tried 1.2 once but I got wrecked heh. Maybe I'll try 1.2 again soon.

[ApocalypseAp]

I think the MA isn't completely terrible on this. Not completely.


Yolo3 long version


87.6%, I'll take this improvement to the bank


83.47%, stamina's still a bit of a thing for me on these sharpnel files (more mental stamina than physical) but I'll get there

[ApocalypseAp]

Some more scores, nothing that amazing but good for me.

From Yolo3, 91.65%. I'll AA soon probably.


89%. The jumpstream parts are not actually as hard as the minijack parts, but I should be able to AA this soon too if I keep improving.


96.21%. Last time I couldn't even AA this so it was nice to get this score. A few misses were in stupid parts though so it's improvable.


I suck at this file but I like it.


89.43%. A little overwhelmed by the jumpstream at tne end.


88.11%. A very marginal improvement. I actually did really well in the first half (see the combo) but then I just messed up the second half.

[ApocalypseAp]

94.72%. This is loooong overdue. I still suck at the end.


95.25%. Got some random misses that I probably shouldn't have gotten Oh well.


89.62%. I thought this was pretty good for never Aing before.


86.25% on this one. The one really fast part is hard.


87.73%. Getting a little better at control and speed.

[ApocalypseAp]

84.63% 0.9x rate


83.1% 0.8x rate. Couldn't A before.


89.62% on the fool 0.9x, another marginal improvement


90.26%. I used to be terrible at this song.


90.07% on 0.9x. Almost 5% better than my last.

[ApocalypseAp]

It's tiiime for more scores!

90.26% This even beat my last 0.9 record I think, and this is 1.0


85.7% Same thing with this one.


92.06% so close to AA but I lost it at the handstream at the end.


90.67% might be my first marathon sharpnel AA, we'll see


93.02% I really didn't expect to AA this.
